Semiclosed Conformations of the Ligand-Binding Domains of NMDA Receptors during Stationary Gating.
NMDA receptors are tetrameric ligand-gated ion channels. In the continuous presence of saturating agonists, NMDA receptors undergo stationary gating, in which the channel stochastically switches between an open state that permits ion conductance and a closed state that prevents permeation. The ligand-binding domains (LBDs) of the four subunits are expected to have closed clefts in the channel-o...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Gating reaction mechanism of neuronal NMDA receptors.
The activation mechanisms of recombinant N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NRs) have been established in sufficient detail to account for their single channel and macroscopic responses; however, the reaction mechanism of native NRs remains uncertain due to indetermination of the isoforms expressed and possible neuron-specific factors. To delineate the activation mechanism of native NRs, we examin...
متن کاملSpecific sites within the ligand-binding domain and ion channel linkers modulate NMDA receptor gating.
Gating in the NMDA receptor is initiated in the extracellular ligand-binding domain (LBD) and is ultimately propagated via three linkers-S1-M1, M3-S2, and S2-M4-to the ion channel. M3-S2 directly couples LBD movements into channel gating, but the functional and structural contributions of S1-M1 and S2-M4 to the overall gating process are unknown. A scan of substituted cysteines in and around th...
متن کاملCoupled Control of Desensitization and Gating by the Ligand Binding Domain of Glutamate Receptors
The kinetics of ligand gated ion channels are tuned to permit diverse roles in cellular signaling. To follow high-frequency excitatory synaptic input, postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors must recover rapidly from desensitization. Chimeras between AMPA and the related kainate receptors demonstrate that the ligand binding domains alone control the lifetime of the desensitized state. Mutati...
